Fire ProWrestling D (Import) User Reviews

I recently got this game and wow, its just amazing. There are over 200 wrestlers including some UFC fighters, WWF, ECW, WCW, Japanese wrestlers and legends like Andre The Giant, Lou Thesz , Bret The Hitman Hart even The Nature Boy Ric Flair just to mention a few. This game gives you the ability to keep rosters current (unlike most wrestling games) and allows one to edit wrestlers looks, moves, taunts and wrestling affiliation. By downloading new wrestlers (even some old school wrestlers) and their moves from the internet the game displays infinite re-playability and currency. It allows for one to make referees, valets even belts for the different federations. Heck, make your own pay-per-view event if you like. There are some many great things about this game that I could just go on and on. Now you're thinking, "Sounds too good to be true, what are the minuses about the game?" Well, there are three things that I can think of that if changed would make it a perfect ten. One, the fact that it is a Japanese import so everything is in Japanese (sorry, no way to change this) Luckily some great people out there have posted exact translations to help the rest of us out. Two, for those of you that are into great graphics, well, the game is 2D. That's right, 2D and more fun (in my humble opinion) than Smackdown or Attitude although not as nice looking. The last minus against this game is the fact that it has a bit of a learning curve. That is, don't expect to win by simply smashing buttons 'cause it won't work. You actually have to read the guides (once again, can be found on the net) and learn to master the moves. Bottom line, one of the best wrestling games out there. Just about every mode you can think of like 1 on 1, 2 on 2, 5 on 5, barb-wire matches, exploding cage matches, UFC style-octagon matches, etc. It includes wrestlers like Hall, Nash, Taker, Stone Cold, Rock, etc. If you give this game a try you won't be disappointed.
